Savage Ascension

Arena Cultivation, Book I

By: Atlas Kane

Narrated by: Christian J. Gilliland, Hazel Cohen

Survive the arena. Choose a Battle Bride. Master the lost art of cultivation.

They called me a savage, then threw me into the their cruel arena.
Instead of bleeding out on the sand like they hoped, I used the power of my gifted core to rise.

When I learned my enemies held a cure for the spreading plight of infertility, I knew why my gods had sent me.

I am Dagon Haldorson, hunter and Hearthman of the northern shores of Enea.
I will grow in strength, form alliances, and win the hearts of gorgeous battle brides.

And by uncovering the lost secrets of cultivation, we may go one step further.

Together, we might change the world.

(This book contains graphic violence, adult themes, and unconventional relationships.)

Great 1st book. on to the next!!!

The beginning kind of reminded me of the movie "Gladiator" with Russel Crowe. MC's crew gets killed, he gets captured and forced to fight in an arena to the death. Its a good story, the mc is strong but flawed and awkward in some situations, making him relatable and cool to me. Narration/voice acting is good from both people.

A very enjoyable book

I found i loved this book, I feel the story was well thought out and the voice actors did a great job, I look forward to starting book 2.

ANOTHER GREAT BOOK BY ATLAS KANE

I Got hooked almost imminently. It's easy to like the MC and want to follow him through this book. There was suspense, surprise and laughs. it's hard not to give spoilers. If you liked the Last World Series you will love this one too. I can't wait to see what Dag can do next!

This one is worth the credit.

Can't wait to start the next.

The narrator does a great job, though the headspace voices doesn't match the spoken it's an easy ignore.

I loved the last fight, I feel like I'd been avenged. The decisiveness, the quickens, the fear, I loved it. Oh and the wife with the kitchen knife... priceless.

phenomenal story and great narration.

before I start the review I did get a code in exchange for this review but in no way does this sway my opinion.

the story does start off kind of slow but the details just make you feel like you're there. I feel like I got to know so many of the characters and so much about their personalities. I don't feel like we get to know much about some of those who died but it didn't hurt the story any. I really like the world in which this takes place. I feel like it's a place where the strongest truly do hold most of the cards. I am really looking forward to listening to book two. not to spoil it for anyone else but I really really love hate endings that make me want to know more right now. if you like cultivation stories that not only please your violent tendencies but your carnal tendencies. I suggest everyone read this book.
